Multi-voting

- During the analyze phase,…your team brainstorm theories on potential causes…and then organize them into cause effect diagrams.…What's next?…Collect data to test every X on the cause effect diagram?…No! Let's work smart.…The group in this session usually includes…a project team and subject matter experts,…such as operators and process owners.…Make use of collective knowledge, expertise,…and experience of the group to shortlist and select…the most likely theories of potential causes.…

There is a useful technique to do just that,…it's called Multi-Voting.…This is how it works:…After the cause effect diagram has been created,…the facilitator who is usually the project leader,…will provide everyone with the fixed number of votes…for them to vote on the most likely theories.…The project leader will provide a fixed number…of round sticky notes or dots to everyone in the room.…How many votes should each person get?…There are various rules of thumb…regarding number of votes per person.…

One school of thought is to provide…

The Green Belts or Black Belts that lead Lean Six Sigma projects are well-trained and ready to guide your project to the finish line. But what do you, as a team member on a Lean Six Sigma project team, need to know to be effective? In this course, Dr. Richard Chua provides coverage of fundamental Lean Six Sigma tools that can help you add value to your project. Here, he focuses on the Analyze, Improve, and Control phases of the DMAIC—Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control—approach. Discover how Lean Six Sigma integrates lean into DMAIC. Then learn how to conduct analysis using tools like cause-effect diagrams, multi-voting, scatter plots, correlation, and regression. Discover how to improve processes using methodologies such as FMEA and Kaizen. Finally, find out how to implement controls and value-stream management practices. For information about the first two phases of DMAIC, make sure to check out the previous installment of the Lean Six Sigma Teams series.
